EU Reporter: Polls show occupied region is main concern in Azerbaijan

EU Reporter, an online web site, has published an article headlined “Polls show occupied region is main concern in Azerbaijan”.

The article says: “A wide-ranging survey has revealed that the Armenian-occupied area of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding provinces is the most important issue for citizens of Azerbaijan

Leading New York-based firm Arthur J. Finkelstein conducted a pre-referendum survey on 15 September showing that 96.7% of the Azerbaijani people perceive Nagorno-Karabakh as the most important issue facing the country. Three years ago this was the third highest concern. The company’s executive director George Birnbaum said: “32,400 interviews were conducted in 100 constituencies by 900 interviewers. This is a huge sample.” He added: “It is no surprise that Azerbaijanis hugely support their president.”
